Plugging along. The big change is a move from Virginia up to NJ a couple years ago now (changed jobs, and loving it). You've been missed, bro. Its good to see you posting again.

I've been very restrained in my dha acquisition the last few years, and have actually sold more than I've bought I think. I just picked up a beaut, though, which I will post once I get it in hand. It is a Thai daab/katana fusion, with a blade that has a profile very like a liewei dao, so its quite unique.

Now returning you to your regularly scheduled thread ....

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet about meed phra is the engraving on the scabbards. I have one which has very faint traced designs and writing, probably done with a pin or needle. A similar design is visible near the throat of the scabbard of Stuart's mini-meed. I assume that these are created by the monk during the blessing ceremony. I'd post photos, but they are almost impossible to see.

"Restrained" being, obviously, a relative term. Post that puppy up, man!

What swords have you sold that I haven't been offered? I can think of at least two you have that should be safely stored in a climate-controlled office in Fort Lauderdale...

Andrew,
Still trying to get your hands on some of Mark's collection i see While I'd love to stay and chat I'm in transit home and have only this one night in Bangkok and the neon across the street is calling my name.

It's time to empty my baht gun

BTW so none get the wrong impression "Baht" is Thai money. You get your reload at the ATM and then we generally (since it looks like play money to us) place our wallets on full auto and spray it around the economy

And yes I emptied my that night
